Back to collectionWhat Players Want From One Hour of Play
Final Form was still awaiting its open beta, while conversation in the community revolved around card staking and release dates. The official account posted a line that sounded less like promotion: the best games let people escape reality and forget their troubles for a while, even if only for an hour a day. The conversation set no date for the open beta, but it showed the Night Watchman that players were waiting for more than an announcement.

Final Form was still awaiting its open beta, while conversation in the community revolved around card staking and release dates. The Night Watchman noticed that newcomers were surrounded by questions about progress before they even understood how the game would play.
The official account posted a line that sounded less like promotion: the best games let people escape reality and forget their troubles for a while, even if only for an hour a day. The Night Watchman brought it back to the group and asked how people would want to spend that hour once they could play. Some wanted to try a deck; others simply wanted to get into the game without trouble.
The conversation set no date for the open beta, but it showed the Night Watchman that players were waiting for more than an announcement. He decided to keep a separate list of questions about getting started and try them one by one when testing opened. Whether the game could deliver that hour remained for players to judge.
